For a non-alcoholic option, replace the brandy with additional peach juice or a peach-flavored soda.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this cocktail in advance for a party?

What can I use instead of sweet and sour mix?
You can create a homemade version by mixing equal parts of fresh lemon juice and simple syrup. Adjust the sweetness to your liking; this can enhance the cocktail's flavor profile and provide a fresher taste compared to store-bought mixes.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of this drink?
